In the western world, living the cookie-cutter life that our parents generation did had its ups and downs. for many people of this era, hitting a point in your life where you felt like there was nothing else to look forward too caused some people to lash out. We called this the Mid-life crisis. A response to the predictability of life. This usually happened around 40 years of age for our parents.
The new generations are facing something different. A quarter-life crisis. A response to the unpredictability that comes when the path you chose for yourself was not what you expected. For us, this happens in our late 20's-early 30's.
What does this all mean for us and can we learn anything from our parents generation about how to handle it?
